One of the most powerful weapons we have against the darkness of this world is to pray for the Light to outshine it (John 1:5). We know that in Christ we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37) and that no evil is beyond His reach. We are encouraged throughout Scripture to bring our burdens and the concerns of the world directly to God because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). I would like to challenge you to spend time in prayer for the end of human trafficking.
